The first instalment of Windows of Leeds set out to make an impactful, optimistic and creative welcome to the city. To emphasise the creative diveristy of Leeds, each window was completed by a different artist – expressing a favourite attribute of the city in their own unique way.

Hi / Bye

Leeds is a friendly and welcoming city, so it’s only right to give a big wave to lovely people passing through the station.

A Mighty Habitat

The city of Leeds has been a nurturing creative environment for me. I can happily live and work here amidst art, music and culture, while also being surrounded by stunning landscapes. You're only ever a short walk, bus or train-ride away from the rugged hills, forests and natural beauty that make the city and Yorkshire so special.

Tight-knit

Leeds has all the opportunities of a big, global environment combined with the benefits of a small Yorkshire community. Our artwork is a visual representation of all the relationships and connections that constantly take place and form the tight–knit community of our city.

Super Music Synth Rack

We were originally drawn to Leeds by its vibrant music scene, the chance to see well known artists in small, intimate venues across the city. Our piece celebrates the local music scene by providing an upbeat welcome to visitors with a colourful and happy synth rack.

Off t' Pub

The piece is inspired by the brewing heritage of Leeds as well as celebrating the independent brewing industry going forward. There are more than 60 breweries in the region – more than the whole of London, despite the population being around 4 times less. Independent pubs and breweries are important to any community and we’re lucky to be able to home so many in Leeds and the wider West Yorkshire region.

Leeds City Council teamed up with Leeds BID in commissioning an installation for Leeds train station. A team of local creatives, led by design studio Something More, created the iconic and welcoming sculptural response. It showcases the city’s diverse creative talent by inviting local artists and designers to regularly interpret the windows. It’s a changing space for everyone to enjoy, share and be surprised by what might appear next.
